ESPN identifies the Seattle Seahawks' most-important pending free agent to watch

There's still plenty of football ahead in 2025. That doesn't mean NFL teams don't have their eye on 2026 and the future of the franchise. Case in point are the 7-3 Seattle Seahawks, who have a total of 11 potential unrestricted free agents (via Spotrac) to make decisions on.

ESPN took an early dive into the 2026 offseason and amongst other things, pointed to a pending UFA to keep an eye on. In regards to Mike Macdonald’s club, Seahawks’ team writer Brady Henderson singled out four-year safety Coby Bryant.

“He is in a different situation than Seattle’s other 2022 draftees who are starting and in the final year of their rookie contracts, including (Riq) Woolen, running back Kenneth Walker III and outside linebacker Boye Mafe. None of those three seem to be in the Seahawks' long-term plans; the team had trade discussions involving Mafe and Woolen. On the other hand, Seattle tried to extend Bryant before the season. The sides were too far apart to reach a deal, but expect them to try again before free agency.”
